Visible light Andromeda with hydrogen alpha
Seven hours of data, combined exposure lengths, with Optolong l-eXtreme filter for hydrogen alpha.

I experimented with a new set up last night and captured three targets. The third is M31: the Andromeda Galaxy. The camera I used is a Sony Alpha 6300 mirrorless (unmodified) along with a Samyang 135mm manual focus f/2 lens. No telescope!

M31 Andromeda Galaxy with 20 Hours Integration
5 nights of dedicated imaging for 15 hours of RGB (combination of 45-second, 1-minute and 3-minute exposures) and 5 hours of narrowband (Optolong l-eXtreme). Honestly, I processed this about four or five times before getting to a result I was satisfied with... future revisions may come!

An interim stack of multiple sessions for a 2022 project to achieve as detailed an M31 as possible.

A detailed capture taken by composing multiple exposures and filters.

A dramatic version of M31 with a bit more saturation combined from 6 1/2 hours of exposure taken over the course of 2022.

M32: Dwarf Compact Eliptical Galaxy
Just off the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy is one of two satellites orbiting the Milky Way's neighbor: M32, a dense cloud of stars that are classified as a dwarf, early-stage compact elliptical galaxy.
2021-10-09
Over 2,000 10-second exposures went into stacking 6 panels that were blended to produce this capture of Andromeda with neighboring galaxies M32 and M110.
